OZ Optics’ MBC-MINI mini modulator bias controller is a full-function miniature OEM version of the modulator bias controller (MBC) family. It is designed to be used for general single modulator applications. The MBC-MINI modulator bias controller can be used to lock the working point of the modulator at the positive slope quadrature (quad+), negative slope quadrature (quad-), null or peak points of its characteristic curve. The locking modes and slopes are selectable by changing the jumper positions on the PCB. A pigtailed photodetector is included. An external photodetector may also be used.
